MANCHESTER UNITED fans say they “will never forgive” Erik ten Hag after Amad Diallo emerged as a key star under Ruben Amorim.
Diallo, 22, put in a top performance at right wing-back as United thrashed Everton 4-0 on Sunday.
The Ivorian was relentless with his running and work-rate.
And Diallo’s fine show was rewarded with two assists as Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee’s braces sealed victory at Old Trafford.
It wasn’t the star’s first good performance under Amorim, having been one of United’s better players in last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town.
But under previous boss Ten Hag, Diallo had struggled to impress.
He was only used sparingly by the Dutchman, who insisted on keeping Diallo on the right of a front three.
The youngster was unable to nail down a place in Ten Hag’s side as he frantically searched for consistent minutes.
And fans reckon their former boss “should be hired just to be fired again” for his treatment of Diallo.
One said: “The fact Ten Hag watched him every day in training and continue to play Antony over him blows my mind.”

Another declared: “Not sure I’ll ever forgive Ten Hag for his treatment of Diallo.”
One noted: “Bizarre it took more than four months for Amad to get a start last season, he’s torn Everton to shreds today.”
Another boomed: “Ten Hag should be hired just so he can be fired again, why did he not platform Amad?”
One added: “Amad is the best pressing player we have and Ten Hag, who wanted pressing football, barely used him.”
Boss Amorim is certainly enjoying watching Diallo and hailed his performance after the Ipswich game.
Amorim said last week: “I think it was very good, he has improved a lot.
“Since these three days, he improved so much defensively but for him, the opponent he had all the time was the left back.
“He was so focused on everything, I think he did a great job.”
